Re: Guitarist that once had great tone-but now is different or just plain bad.

As for Page, I think starting from 1972/1973 he was at his peak and traveled down from there. His Earl's Court tone isn't bad, just not as good, from there his tone became muddy and undefined (especially in 1977) and excessively clean (everything IMO, of course).

After Zep we had his wonderful tones with The Firm..

However, he picked things up again:
Live at The Greek w/the Black Crowes
Wembley, as you said
the Reunion show

Currently, I think tone isn't bad, much better than before, but still not as good as Page c.1973
Yeh had no idea. Am not the biggest foo fighters fan but I live in the UK so went along and I used to live to listen to Zeppelin so I was exstatic! I started shouting at people jammed up next to me THAT'S JIMI PAGE!!!

Page has messed about with so many amps I think that explains his ever changing tone.
